Trim around window is bubbling?

It looks to be the frame around the door glass, I think its plastic coated but rusting from the inside?
 
It is the metal under the coating that is corroding through. Either replace or you may have luck rubbing it down, priming and recoating.
 
Probably a bit of old damage has allowed water to penetrate & then the rust spreads under the paint/plastic coating.
You could sand & paint but the surface is likely to be well pitted & unless you can get at all of it then it will work its way back from the bits you couldn't get at.
If easily replaceable that's going to be your best option.
 
Hi..basically your existing part is scrap....Not too difficult to replace.. When I did one of mine wound down window and gently pulled old one out...new one slid in (bottom ends first) and then carefully pul upwards to seat it.
New ones available (copy part) look at BRITCAR...very expensive for what they are... Good 2nd hand would be best option.
Regards
 
Thanks Sid I had visions of having to strip the door! I will have a look for some next week, just spoils the car as the rest is very good
